Ingredients:





     8    Ripe bananas, mashed


     3    Lemons


     3 c  Sugar


     3 c  Water


          Olive-sized pieces of fresh


          Ginger


          Some whole clovers






 Squeeze juice from lemons and slice the rind into paper thin strips


 Boil the sugar and water for 10 minutes, then add the juice and rind,


 the bananas, ginger and a few cloves (to taste).


 


 Cook slowly for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour. Stir carefully so it won't


 scorch. It'll be pale (actually a weird pinkish color.) Take out


 ginger. Put in jars and process 10 minutes in water bath covered by


 1". About 7 8oz jars.


 


 This is truly a strange "jam." But it's delicious on toast, waffles,


 or muffins, and little kids like it.


 


 I discovered by accident that banana jam also makes a truly wonderful


 filling for one of my favorite desserts, a little number called


 Farfel Cake (which contains no farfel and is not a cake.) I will


 provide it. It really is a great recipe--easy to make, delicious to


 eat and even a little impressive to look at.  Great with hot coffee


 or tea.
